A few sprinkles and a couple of passing showers have moved through the area. Now the sky has cleared, and we'll continue with mostly clear conditions with a low of 57 degrees by daybreak.
However, we could use the wet weather. You'll notice below that the Tri-State is painted in yellow, signifying officially dry conditions, the first step toward a drought designation. Some spots from Batavia to West Union are running only 10-30% of normal rainfall.
The Greater Cincinnati communities don't have any worries right now, as the torrential rainstorms recently soaked the area.
After a few morning clouds, sunshine is back, and the temperatures will push into the mid to upper 70s on Friday.
Specifically, we'll see a few clouds early and even a slight chance for sprinkles again. Then, the conditions change by mid to late morning as the sunshine comes back. If you are hitting the road for Labor Day weekend, the region is dry and rain-free.
Saturday will be mostly sunny and pleasant with a high of 75 degrees. Sunday is another ideal day. We'll top out at 78 degrees with a mostly sunny sky and the fireworks forecast looks outstanding.
